Are Generals McMaster and Kelly lying to protect their jobs?
...and to maintain their high positions within the Trump Cabinet?
Or have they been drawn into the cult of the Trump personality?
Do they truly believe what they are saying??

1. Who knows but McMaster is a soldier and has to obey higher ups.
No, he doesn't. If fact, McMasters has quite a tradition of NOT doing what the higher-ups told him to do.

6. Most of our military don't ever come in contact with the civilian leadership, and there is no one in the military I know, who would tell a lie to protect a civilian; particularly this president. The military system of justice is much harsher than a civilian court system. I would never lie while in the military or in office, especially to protect an asshole like Trump. These men would have had a better chance of protecting their rear ends and protecting their future livelihood by telling the truth, whatever that truth is, especially since everyone knows what a liar Trump is. People would respect them for their honesty and their integrity.
As Mueller said at that graduation over the weekend:
"If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you have no integrity, nothing else matters."
Most professional career officers I knew had a total dislike for politicians and the State Department ****heads. If fact, I once refused to allow a State Department official from going on a mission in Afghanistan. Not because it was going to be dangerous- he was just an asshole.

2. Both are ex soldiers.
Both seem way too eager to lie through their teeth in support of cheeto.
Traitors the lot of them.

7. Quite possibly... or perhaps they have been authorized to lie as a way to maintain credibility while Undercover...
May Sound crazy ...
but so did the idea of
Trump being #45 ...
Bannon as WH /presidential strategist
DeVos as Sec Education
Perry as Sec Energy
Tillerson as SoS
****head keebler elfkin as AG
Kushner & Czarina as WH Advisors
Wilbur Ross, M-DoucheN, or any other appointees
Or
Pissing off NATO allies
Body slamming reporters the day before being elected to congress
Or
Having the Russian Ambassador & Russian FM over to the Oval Office to discuss classified intelligence while the TASS guy checks the A/V potential of the room .... and the US press are prohibited from attending....
Undercover? For who?
and is that some bad attempt at poetry or are you just as batshit crazy at kentuck?

Also correspondents, who nowadays are simply looking for something terrible our side did so they can get a Pulitzer from the Leftist trash who dole them out.
In days of old, when correspondents weren't anywhere near the headhunting assholes they are today, my youngest uncle was an Army NCO in the Korean War, doing the kind of job that would be called LRRP 15 years later. His CO wanted to send a correspondent with them on a mission, and Uncle J told him if he did, the Captain might as well get started on the letter now, because he wouldn't be coming back with them. He was a no-shitter cold-blooded SOB, too, so the CO knew it wasn't just bullshitting around. The CO wisely decided he did not have to take the correspondent on the deep patrol.
